    England finish on 318-8. Given the bowlers something to work with.

    A few runs short of what they should have got but still a good score. Bowlers need to earn their pay now...

    I think it's a good score. The pitch is a bit two paced. Certainly not the belter of the first ODI.

    It's a good score but when Root and Stokes were smacking it around 350 was on. They just have to bowl really tight now.

    Either Amla or Moeen have to bleach their beard blonde...they are confusing me. Looked up at TV and thought we were batting again.

    A couple of wickets would be useful bearing in mind it may go to D/L if storm breaks.

    Really surprised about that. Vince and Topley also in.

    Great news, but I don't find it in the least bit unexpected. I was told sometime ago that England were seriously looking at him for the world t20. Spinning all-rounder, who had a brilliant one-day domestic season with bat and ball, and someone who won't be difficult to deal with if they just find themselves carrying the drinks the whole time.

    Basically so long as he didn't badly let himself down with the Lions over the winter, he was on the plane.

    That said, realistically his only chance of actually playing is if Moeen continues to underperform with bat and ball. I can't see us picking Rashid, Moeen and Dawson - especially with Stokes already in there as an allrounder too. (Hales, Roy, Buttler, Stokes, Morgan, Moeen, Rashid, Topley, Finn are all nailed on starters in my book if they're fit, plus one of Root and Vince, and one of Willey and Jordan - although the t20s between now and then could yet change that)
